TIFU not fully proofing an email to my students

So, this literally just happened, and I'm already starting to panic. I'm a university professor (m 56), and today I sent out the much-anticipated end-of-semester email to my class. You know, the usual stuff—wishing them well, providing important links for follow up articles, grade submissions, feedback forms, etc.

I had a bunch of tabs open while drafting the email: the university portal, the feedback form, and, uh, a tab with a picture my friend had sent me as a joke.

I carefully crafted the email, double-checked the content (or so I thought), and confidently hit send. As soon as I did, I felt a wave of relief—finally, a major task off my to-do list. But then, an unsettling thought crept into my mind: Did I actually check all the links?

My heart started to race as I quickly opened my "Sent" folder to review the email. And there it was, staring back at me in all its glory—a link that was supposed to lead my students to some helpful material but instead linked the picture my friend sent. My face turned crimson as I realized the potential fallout from this mishap.

Now, I'm sitting here, nervously watching my inbox, waiting for the inevitable reactions. Did they open it yet? Did they notice? Are they laughing, shocked, or horrified? The silence is deafening, and my anxiety is through the roof. Is it actually that bad?

I'm already drafting an apology email in my head, trying to find the right words to explain how this could have happened.

Why didn't I triple-check the links? Why was that tab even open? Questions I can't answer right now because I'm too busy imagining the horrified or amused looks on my students' faces as they click that link.

Acidental link I sent

Update: The IT guy said I need some approvals before I can retract the email so I just decided to let it go. As some commenters pointed out, no one probably clicked the email and this will be a nothing story in 45 mins. Thanks for the help folks! I have to head out for a bit, is there a way to keep the post up but only get comments? Would like to hear what everyone thinks but don't want this getting too out there either, incase one of my students sees it. It's a small-ish class so I should be ok.

TL;DR: Just sent an end-of-semester email to my class with an incorrect link that leads to a bikini picture instead of the final exam schedule, and now I'm anxiously waiting for the fallout.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
